This seems to be written in 1880, not 1877. Searching internally for the years "1878" and "1879" produces several references to events in the past in those years, "1880" only produces one, and "1881" and "1882", none. "1883" appears in an advertisement in the back, so this was printed in 1883 or later, but the content seems likely to have been written in 1880. Searching for 1884 through 1891 turned up no hits. Searching in Hathitrust, this seems to be Volume 3 of this series.
